It lies just a few kilometer away from the town of Palpa, down on the banks of the Kali Gandaki River. The area is famous for the Ranighat Palace, which is perched atop a small mound over looking the raging snow-fed river. Also called "Tajmahal of Nepal", the palace was built by Khadga Shamaher Rana in 1898 in memory of his beloved queen-like wife Tej Kumari.

From the small rocky mountain on which the palace sits, visitors can view the white water river raging down toward the Terai plains. More than anything else, the area is famous for its beauty both natural and cultural. The area lies in between Ridi and Ramdi, two famous pilgrimage sites for Hindus. Devout Hindus collect the famous 'saligram stones' from the river banks.
